Another bit of sparkle has gone from our lives

Sad news, as we bid a fond farewell to a stalwart of the drag circuit in the UK for the last thirty years, Miss Jason - who has departed for the Cabaret Tent in Fabulon:

Miss Jason - Short Documentary

Cheers, dear!

RIP, Miss Jason aka Jason Sutton

Thought for the day

Kath & Kim.

A classic - now available on Netflix, for those of you who subscribe to it.

Red, white and blue, what do they mean to you?

[The real story]

Happy St George's Day to all our English chums!

Here, have an anthem...

Tiny Tim - There'll Always Be An England

PS

Hoist the flag would you, dear boy?

Don't make no lifer out of me

This is how I always greet a Monday. NOT!

Too soon, too soon. I'd hardly got in the "weekend mood", and here we are again. Same old shit, different day week.

Hey ho.

Among a raft of birthday celebrants that include Issey Miyake, Glen Campbell, Bettie Page, Kathleen Ferrier, Jack Nicholson, J. Robert Oppenheimer, Yehudi Menuhin, Vladimir Nabokov, Dame Ethel Smyth, Immanuel Kant, Henry Fielding, Charles Mingus, Peter Frampton, Donald Tusk, Aaron Spelling, and - erm - Vladimir Lenin, it's "The Pope of Filth" John Waters' birthday today!

On this Tacky Music Monday, we deserve this - a double-bill of Johnny Depp at his most gorgeous, in one of Mr Waters' finest films...

Johnny Depp [dubbed by James Intveld] - High School Hellcats [Cry-Baby (1990)]

Johnny Depp [dubbed by James Intveld], Amy Locane [dubbed by Rachel Sweet] - Please, Mr. Jailer [Cry-Baby (1990)]

Have a good week, dear reader.

Ooh, slip out the back, Jack

It's a bit of a slow day today, after another mammoth drinking-session-cum-Film-Club with our chums yesterday...

What better than some "Sunday Music", courtesy of our "house band" here at Dolores Delargo Towers [who we are going to see in the glittering London Palladium in a fortnight's time]?!

That'll do nicely.

Postmodern Jukebox ft. Ashley Campbell - 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover (Paul Simon New Orleans "Second Line" style cover)

We love Postmodern Jukebox!

Girl, I'll just forget you

Sigh. I love the 80s...

I'm heading off to Holborn later for another "gathering of the clans" at one of our semi-regular "Film Club" afternoon/evenings - but I am on a bit of a nostalgia kick today.

Can it really be FORTY YEARS since this one was in our charts [scraping the lower echelons thereof, admittedly]..?

Shannon - Give Me Tonight

I wonder what Miss Brenda Shannon Greene's doing these days?

What a set up, Holy cow!

I make no excuses for another gratuitous pic of sex god Tom Daley (wearing the new Team GB kit for the 2024 Olympics that was launched yesterday)!

A much-needed weekend is almost here, and I think we need to crank up the wireless and get into the party mood that normally greets the end of another week of drudgery..! Our gang actually has a "party" afoot, as we gather once again tomorrow afternoon in the Perseverance pub near Great Ormond Street in leafy Holborn for the first "Film Club" in ages.

On the list of prospective movies on offer (we tend to bring a few then choose the ones to watch by a show of hands) is one of my all-time favourite musicals Sweet Charity, so how about this version of one of its most famous numbers by Miss Linda Clifford and - ahem - a dancing robot?!

Thank Disco It's Friday!

Linda Clifford - If My Friends Could See Me Now

Bizarre.

Have a fab weekend, dear reader!
